Tho failure oC railroad officiate to reach a satisfactory settlement on tlio ques tion of tho demands of organized labor was tho. chief factor tlctennlntriE market movements during tho last half of tho day. Probabilities and possibilities were. discussed In ratlrad and banking circles, and there seemed to bo a greater degreo of uneasiness over tho situation than at any time slnco tho labor position had been defined. In Bomo quarters it was feared that tho delay In reaching a decision was duo to tho determination of tho railroad managers not to recede from their request for 'arbitration, and In Wall street the assumption was that a deadlock had been created. All through tho first half of tho day tho market tone had been confused and prico movements Irregular. Thcro wcro frequent advances nnd recessions, but tho upturns wero without substanco and tho displays of strength wcro of short duration. Tho railway Issues wcro pressed for salo shortly after noon and It was then demonstrated that thcro was llttlo demand around previously prevailing prices. New York Central dropped, on small selling, from 10G to 10GH. Union Pacific sustained a fos3 of about U points, nnd United Stales Steel common also dropped 3 points from Its high pilco of 00 In tho first half of tho day. Tho weakness extended nil through tho list, Including even the copper shares, which had boon tho strongest features of tho early trading. Anaconda sold off 1 point, and sharp decline occurred In American Smelting, feature of trading In other Issues, Including Consolidated Gas, was tho desertion from tho bull side of some pools which had recently been active In advancing Prices.

Tho first call occupied fully 10 minutes and prices were up 2 3 31 points. A strong market at Liverpool furnished the Impetus for initial btreniith here, and Liverpool was tho heaviest buyer on th9 opening through half a dozen houses, un doing straddles.

It was estimated that not less than 20,000 bales of long contracts had been absorbed during tha morning, but the buying movement tapered off some what early In the noon hour and reactions In New Orleans helped to unsettle senti ment arqund the local ring.

Whllo there Is no very great change tn tho money market In this city now In com parleon with recent weeks, bankers hold to tho belief that rates will stiffen a trtfla this fall. No pronounced advances are ex pected, however. Tho looked-for betterment In the market Is based largely on the fact that when fall draws near moro money Is usually needed for crop movements, Im provements, extensions, etc. Although the oftlctal call rate remains Unchanged at 4 per cent. It was said today that money, on very good names, has been loaned below this figure, somo loans having been mado recently nt Hi per cent. These loans, however, have been few and the names havo been very choice. Itates on commercial paper, Bay for six months, range around 4 per cent, and somo very good 90 day paper has been placed as low at 84 per cent. Commercial borrowings shew somo slight Improvement, An Instance of this Is tho fact that one of the largo uptown banks ln the last day or two loaned to a man who 1IIB AMERICAN OAB COMl'ANV 104 MAIMET 8TRKBT CAJ1UU.N.

A further contraction In business oc curred on the Philadelphia Stock Ezcliange today. Although Steel common was stilt the most active Issue, It did not show tha activity that was present earlier In the week. Movements of prices, except In a few cases, were mostly fractional. A discordant note waa struck by Amer ican Hallways preferred, which declined & full point, and fractional losses were re corded In n number of other issues. A be lated response to the good financial position of tho company, Indicated by the fact that an Increase of 1 cent an hour In wages to tnotormen and conductors has been granted, was made by Philadelphia Rapid Transit trust certificates. The Improvement was only a fraction, however. For a time the company's trust certificates were tho most active ln the trading, two large blocks changing hands, one pt 1000 shares and another of 1200.
